ITINERARY

13 Days Itinerary - The Once-in-a-Lifetime Seven Seas Splendor Experience

Let’s trade the noise for nuance. 

Sun-warmed cobblestones. A glass of local wine in hand. The soft hush of the sea as you sail toward another storied port. 

This isn’t just a cruise—it’s your time to breathe, to reconnect with what moves you, and to indulge in the kind of travel that lingers long after the journey ends. 

Over 13 unhurried nights aboard Seven Seas Splendor®, you'll drift from Rome to Venice, with stops in Amalfi, Dubrovnik, Malta, and more—each one a chance to embrace beauty, quiet luxury, and the joy of traveling at your own pace.

Voyage dates: April 19 – May 02, 2026

Day 1: Step aboard in Rome (Civitavecchia) and settle into your suite. Spend the day exploring the ship, enjoying a welcome cocktail, and watching the sun set over the Eternal City as you sail away.

Day 2: Wander Amalfi’s charming piazzas, visit the iconic Duomo, or take an excursion to the postcard-perfect village of Positano. Lemon groves, hand-painted ceramics, and dramatic sea views await.

Don’t miss THIS place if you’re a history lover—It’s a home to original sculptures by Donatello and Michelangelo—and it’s often blissfully uncrowded.

Pro Tip: Avoid the mid-morning tourist rush by heading out early—book a private boat transfer to Positano before 9 AM for a serene start and uninterrupted photo ops.​

Day 3: Stroll Trapani’s baroque old town or explore nearby Erice, a medieval village perched on a mountaintop. Don’t miss the salt pans and windmills—a photographer’s dream.

Day 4: Step into history with a visit to ancient Carthage or explore the winding alleys of Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia’s striking blue-and-white seaside village.

Day 5: Marvel at St. John’s Co-Cathedral, enjoy panoramic harbor views, or wander the medieval streets of Mdina. Malta is small but packed with UNESCO-worthy history and charm.

Day 6: A full day at sea to indulge: visit the spa, relax by the pool, enjoy fine dining, or attend enrichment programs. This is your time to unwind and savor the ship’s elegance.

Pro Tip: Take full advantage of enrichment programs—art talks, culinary workshops, and wine tastings add depth and delight to your onboard experience.

Day 7: Explore Kefalonia’s Melissani Cave, taste local wines, or stroll the harbor town of Argostoli. This Ionian island blends natural beauty with warm Greek hospitality.

Day 8: Brindisi offers access to Lecce, often called the “Florence of the South.” Discover Roman ruins, baroque churches, and the best olive oil and orecchiette pasta around.

Day 9: Sail into a dramatic bay ringed by mountains, then explore Kotor’s walled old town—cobblestones, cats, and centuries-old charm. Hike to the fortress for breathtaking views.

Day 10: Walk the famous city walls, explore marble-paved streets, or take a cable car for sweeping Adriatic views. Dubrovnik is dazzling, with a storybook atmosphere.

Pro Tip: Skip the main gate (Pile Gate) and enter through Ploče Gate for a more relaxed entry and immediate access to scenic viewpoints.

Day 11: Visit Diocletian’s Palace in Split, a living Roman ruin turned city center. Then grab a gelato and people-watch along the Riva promenade.

If you’re someone who craves quiet sophistication, rich history, and moments that feel like you’ve stepped back in time (without giving up modern comforts), THIS place is a true hidden gem on this itinerary.

Day 12: One more full sea day to enjoy the ship’s luxuries—book a treatment at Serene Spa, sip Champagne on your balcony, or attend a culinary class or wine tasting.

Day 13: Wander Koper’s Venetian-style streets, explore nearby coastal towns like Piran, or venture inland to sample wines from Slovenia’s lush countryside.

Day 14: Your journey ends in the magical city of Venice. Stay a few extra days to explore its canals, palazzos, and timeless allure—or head home refreshed and inspired.
